Just can't stay awake these days, don't know what's up.

Does anyone have any tips for newly fitted braces? Charlie has had his first part fitted today and he's in pain. Have given him the full dose of pain killers I can but its still sore. Can't speak right and he's drooling too. She explained this would happen but I didn't think on the scale it is!! It's cemented in around his teeth with a plastic plate behind his front upper teeth so there is no taking it out. I feel so sorry for him, I really do. October 23rd he's having the tracks fitted on the top and bottom teeth and I'm dreading it for him already. Anyone ideas how long the soreness lasts?

Hope your all having a good day today, and for those who are not

Oh, poor guy! For my son the pain was always bad for the first 24 hrs that anything new was added or tightened. Sometimes the pain lasted 2 days, but not usually beyond that. Ibuprofin did not help, so he had soft foods on those days. Bigger problems came from sores on the insides of his cheeks or tongue from rubbing on protruding or sharp parts. Deal with those quick to keep them from getting bad. They gave him wax to cover the ouchy metal bits, but it was hard to get it to stick. We find out next week if he is ready to have the braces off. FINALLY! It's closing in on 3 years!
 
I remember the wax Wishing . I just asked him and he said drooling a little but no pain. thats what i would expected him to say though.
 
only time I have heard him complain of pain was a couple times with his crones flair and once when gi nurse gave him 3 enemas in a row for lower gi test.
 
thats what i buy him when I do buy one. do you have one pack? I wont buy them if i dont need to. I would like to get him a pr. of shoes. He has been wearing boots all summer and when I say anything to him he says, no worries, these will last forever. LOL
